Resources for teachers at UK schools

We understand how important teachers are in preparing students for university
and so we want to support you and your students with a range of resources.

A-level resources

Below you'll find resources to help your students through the university application process. We also want students to thrive in the
university learning environment once they arrive, so we’re producing a number of resources to support A-level teachers.

These resources are based on the teaching notes of our academic staff and are designed to help bridge the gap between A-level and
undergraduate study.

Similarly we also see the value that the EPQ offers in preparing students for
study at university and so we have resources to support that too.

University application

These resources provide information about the university application process, such as personal statements and student finance, and
we would encourage you to share them with your students (and their parents) in order to guide them through the process.

A-level Maths teaching resources

The University is a fund-holder for the FMSP, providing a centre for FMSP activity in the East of England. Dr Chris Saker is
an FMSP Area Coordinator and he is based in our Department of Mathematical Sciences. The University is proud to be able to contribute to the excellent
enrichment opportunities, teacher training and resources provided by the FMSP.

Registration with the FMSP is free and once registered teachers have access to free resources for teaching A-level Further Mathematics via MEI’s Integral website. Sample
resources from Integral are available to try for free.

Insight Day

Back by popular demand our Insight Day allows sixth form and college students to get a flavour of university courses, talk to current students about the subject
they’re interested in and help them to make important decisions about next steps.
